TEN CAPTAINS SWEATED.
PRELIMINARY CANTER FOR THE IN.
SPECTORsHIP STAKES.

All the Candidates Marked 100 IN Physical
Condition-Tben they SIT Down and Drip
their Brains u ouiro OF Fooiscap.
The ten Police Captains who have resolved
to compete for the two vacant Police In
spectorships made their appearance at the
City Hall yesterday and were at once taken In
hand by Lee Phillips, the Secretary and Elk.
ecutive officer OF tho Municipal Civil Service
Board. Room 10 on the south front OF the City
Hall. used for some time past as committee
room by the Aldermen. was devoted to the ex.
aminatlons OF the Captains.
When oil were mustered IL was found that
there wore present Capts. Williams, Alnire
Conlin, Webb. Gunner. Copeland, McCullaah
1.-THE youngerl, Smith, Cortrlght, and Brogan.
Capts. Gastlin OF the steamboat squad and
Clinchy wore originally entered for the prizes,
but withdrew.
Tho first test to which the candidates were
subjected was as TO their physical condition.
They were thumped and sounded by Police
Surgeon BENJAMIN Z. vosburg. and all were
found to be In flrst-rate condition. Every one
was marked 100. q remarkable showing. con-
sidering that some of them have been sub
jected to the vicissitudes OF q policeman's life
Tor more than twenty years.
s ct The BE rs Eaxas PROF.
Greener, and Lee Phillips bad pooled .thels
combined intellects, and produced series OF
questions that were calculated to puzzle the
Oldest and most experienced Captains on the
force, There were four sets OF question:. Ona
questions ana the third and fourth sets e Eng
to arrests, the city ordinances. and many
doubtful matters that an Inspector would b
called on to decide.
The day was warm-also humid. The ROOM
Is rather small and the Captains stripped on
their gold LACED uniforms and went to work In
their shirt sleeves. Each man had desk,
auire OF writing paper, pens, and Ink and the
allowed between the candidates, and all OUT
siders were vigorously excluded.
Late In the afternoon tho candidates were
allowed to take a short rest for lunch and then
set to work again. Several Of the Captains
whose knowledge Of municipal law. the orqi-
nances, and the rules and regulations OF tho
police force i8 varied and extensive, were
found to BIO rather weak in grammar and facu.
ity Of expression. Taken as a whole, however.
1t is said the Captains made 2 very eood i'm.
preston ON the examiners. and some OF them
will come very close to the maximum number
Of marks. Tho examination was continued
D The hal HARDEST trial viii be on Tuesday next,
when the Captains will have TO undergo "A
Z. "a" dodkin. and +. randolph Robinson. tho
Supervisory Board. These will probably be re-
enforced BY Inspector Byrnes. Prof. Greener.
and Mr.. marlborough. Thek9qestions will be
general IN their scope, and WI be intended to
that he will be compelled to pass on as an In:
spector.' It is probable that the standing Of
tho candidates will not be known before the
latter part of the week.
